Joseph Hensley lectured on the “ British Navy.” He referred, first of all, to the wicker boats of the ancient Britons, covered with skins, in which they sometimes ven- tured as furas Ganl. He proceeded to speak of the rise of the British Navy under the great Alfred, William the Conqueror, Riebard of the Lion Heart, ond the Seventh Heary, whose reign war sigvalised hy the discovery of America, and the opening of a new world on this side of the Atlantic. The lec- turer further dwelt. in some detail, upon the con tes’ for naval supremacy between England and Holiand, during the Commonwealth, conducted by those emminent conananders, Blake and Van Tromp, with his broom at his mast-head, and his vain eal to sweep the seas. He told the story of the Spanish Philip's * lnvineible Armada,"’ with its wonderful defeat and destruction, under Howard of Effingham, Drake, Raleigh, and Hawkins. De- scending to more modern tines, he rehearsed at length, and with mucirfeeliug, the career, the Con- | queste, and the etriking eud of Lord Nelson. He also discussed the aguval incidents of the last war rel Ween PBrituin aud Aimesioa. aud expressed his couviction, that thera wus nothing in thore inci- dents to detract from the naval repute of our mother | eountry. He glanced at the changes etlected in ‘naval warfave by the introdaciion of steam, and the experiments pow in progress Upon rifled cannon, and iron-elad versels., He had no idea, however, us sume comprehended, that any change in modes . + « »1? of warfare would affect wufaveurably the spirit of the British seam:in. He closed with uapirations for peace. and with tribute to * righteousness’ which Sexalteth a nation” more than the most brilliant victories ever achieved.
